Definitions

  • the means of actuating associated with the motor being adapted to actuate the rapid rotation of the motor in the presence of the signal of the extreme position and the slow rotation in the absence of said signal.
  • the pivoting actuator which may be a rotating displacement device, is alternatively actuated between two opposed angular positions depending on the state of the position signal.
  • the rolling element When the rolling element is situated in one or the other of these extreme positions, it carries out a correction on the fabric by introducing a transverse component into the advance speed at its level: moreover, the cylinder is driven in this case at a rapid speed by the driving motor (presence of extreme position signal) so that the transverse component of the speed is not created at the detriment to the longitudinal component.
  • the position signal changes very rapidly its state and the displacement device, actuated at an elevated frequency, oscillates between the above two extreme positions.
  • FIG. 7 is an elevational side-view of the guiding device in the direction of the arrow V 1 in FIG. 4,
  • the guiding device in accordance with the present invention is intended to guide the piece of fabric which rests on the plate 4 in order to permit obtaining a stitching line parallel to the edge of the fabric without the help of an operator.
  • the presser-foot 5 is attached to a cable 10 (which is better seen in FIG. 7) which passes through an eye provided in the support bracket 9 and has at its upper free end a contact plate which automatically lifts the presser-foot when the guiding device reaches its lifted position.
  • the machine is provided with an optical detector 11 of the presence of the fabric, capable of capturing the light reflected by a small plate 11a situated near the presser-foot 5 (towards the inside of the fabric, i.e. near the edge Rb); when the fabric appears at its level, this detector actuates the jack 7 and causes the downwards movement of the guiding device towards the working position; when the fabric disappears, it actuates the lifting movement of the jack 7.
  • a proximity pin (not seen) is provided on the jack 7 in order to detect the moment when the rod reaches its low deployed position corresponding to the working position of the guiding device. The pin actuates the start of the sewing machine when the guiding device reaches its working position; it also actuates the start of the means for entrainment and rotation of the rolling element of this device and that of the actuator of the alternating pivoting movement.
  • the guiding device comprises essentially the following five functional assemblies:
